The royal family are in the midst of seeking legal council pursuant to one French publication, Closer releasing naked nude images of Kate Middletontopless.

According to the irish independent: The Duke and Duchess were told about the pictures during breakfast as they prepared for the fourth day of their tour of the Far East, and were said to be “saddened” that their privacy had been breached.

It is understood the images were taken by a paparazzo using a long lens whilst Prince William and Kate Middleton were cooling off in a private swimming pool during a holiday in Provence, France last week.

Reacting to the news that the images were set to be released, a royal aide offered the following:

“This is disappointing, saddening and turns the clock back 15 years. We have always maintained the position that the Duke and Duchess deserve their privacy, not least when they are on holiday in their own swimming pool.”

And if one wants to get a sense of the commotion that the French magazine hopes to unnerve then perhaps the title it used in relation to the pictures says it best:

“Oh My God! Photos that will go around the world … the future Queen of England as you’ve never seen her before … and as you will never see her again!”

It is understood that the pictures were taken whilst the couple were vacationing at Lord Linley’s house, the Queen’s nephew.

Responding to the possibilities of breaching privacy of the royals, Laurence Pieau, Closer magazine’s editor said ‘Prince Harry, who was photographed naked during a holiday in Las Vegas earlier this month, would feel “less alone” when the pictures were published.’

Whilst the French publication has decided to use the images, that despite having some of the strictest privacy laws in the world, it’s English counterpart in the UK has adamantly remained steadfast that it will not release said images. Although it is understood that the French edition was printed under licence by another firm and both magazines made editorial decisions independently.

Ultimately one has to wonder to what extent public titillation is being served by releasing naked images of the future Queen of England or whether one should except despite her title she is fair game given her status as a public figure? Either way the images are sure to cause heart ache within the royal family as it grapples with snafu after snafu and once again has to contend with the fact that the media will ultimately have its way. So much for the media’s right to free expression one may wonder….?

As for Kate Middleton’s own reaction to the release of the naked images it has been noted that she has for the interim chosen to ignore the images as she was seen copiously smiling and laughing her way through a Diamond Jubilee tea party at the British High Commission in Kuala Lumpur. Of course how long the laugh and smiles continue is anyone’s guess…

Here’s my thoughts about Kate Middleton going topless. It’s okay to go topless in France everyone does it but the chances that she would get caught out way the risk of keeping her top on. The future Queen of England should have known better…As they say the apple does not fall far from the tree and my reliable sources have told me that Carole Middleton is a wild thang. I hope the Queen can sleep tonight with all the naked pictures recently being released. TISK TISK!!

She’ll only be “queen consort” — she won’t be the queen as Elizabeth is queen (queen regnant) “queen consort” is only a courtesy title. Princess Diana did the same thing as she in the early 90s/late 80s.

Anyone with a telephoto lens can get a picture like this! You know there are plenty of papparazzi (sp) trying to get more like this. They can shoot through a window and into private places so I do not condemn her for getting caught by them. It is not like she is walking down the street or on a public beach.It is France/Europe where going topless is common. Come on! They are really nice pictures and she looks great! I am glad I have the chance to see them. No I am not gay. I like bodies as a natural thing.

She needs a breast job. I do not think her breast are royalty material…lol

Not even fap worthy. She has a decent enough face but the body (especially the breasts) are shite.

Why can’t the royal family show some dignity and class for once? Lord knows they get paid enough for their priviledged lifestyle, it should come with some responsibility. People say this is Diana all over again. Yes, but not as far as Paparazzi stalking….more like Royals Behaving Badly. I’m sickened by it and don’t want to see them constantly in the media.

So what?

Some pornographer paid that photographer thousands, possibly millions, of US Dollars to get the celebrity skin shot. That photo set went viral all over the internet now, and you can bet that celebrity skin sites are archiving it to death and will show the set again and again and again until we start yawning from the boredom.

Last time I checked, HRH Princess Katherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is a very svelte woman. Like most women, she has grown functional breasts that will presumably feed the next Royal Heir to the Throne of the UK. Frankly, if anyone is going to masturbate to this, he might better take a walk down the streets of his own home town and meet a live local woman for a reality check.

The real scandal is not that HRH Princess Kate went topless on a French beach, because French locals do not make any controversy over that. The real scandal is that some pornographer paid the photographer for those albeit fuzzy shots of a wealthy celebrity female, and that grown men who ought to know better have paid the pornographers for a better look at them, when these same men could have gone on their local streets and made relationships with live women in their home towns. Chances are, those live women look better anyway, and they will certainly not be surrounded by security guards, and they will certainly converse with these men if only for slight idle chatter.

Another real scandal is that grown men are masturbating to photographs of women, and these photographs can never express real love as human women do. Part of the addictive nature of pornography is that these images of nude women do not argue or chide, do not smell funny, do not act quirky, and do not sue men or put out PFA orders against us. Those who are addicted to porn would do well to learn real relationships with real people and put down the photographic nudes and the sex toys. If for any reason men cannot get along with live women, we should just accept ourselves and our situations and work toward the best relationships with ourselves and others that we possibly can.

I think the idea to start “Scallywag and Vagabond.” (SCV) originates from my myriad background and the many years I have spent in preferred cafes and brasseries extolling the virtues and subtle intricacies of ‘being’ as the Beaujolais ran, the cigarette wafted and the gentleman to my side pontificated while spraying himself with a deftly tied cravat and sun crested idolatry.’

I grew up in Australia where as a young man one was obliged to become a hero of sorts. A master swimmer, fighter of causes, ideals and disheveled denizen of aesthetics, and more often a carefree ‘larrikin’ who would occasionally poke his sun bronzed nose at authority and convention Read More
